Hello. Happy Sunday evening. I hope you all have enjoyed your weekend. I sure did! I went yesterday to the My Favorite Things store for a class. I'll share all about that later this week. Let me just say, AWESOME!

OK - I've thought and thought about this post and project and really debated on whether I should do this or not. Scor-Pal announced a Design Team call and I wasn't so sure this was something that I should apply for. Afterall, I do have quite a bit of design work on my plate plus running two challenge blogs. But then I thought that there isn't a single one of my cards that doesn't start out without Scor-Pal. It's the 2nd tool I grab after the paper cutter in most cases. And when I am creating packaging, it's the only strong adhesive I own. So, one thing for sure is I am a great cheerleader for the company.

Here's the card I created for my application....

I own the original Scor-Pal score board and I own Scor-Tape. That's it. So what can I do with that? I made this card, and I think it turned out rather pretty. Oh! I did pre-order the Scor-Envi but that hasn't come yet, I can't wait!

So the first thing I did was, of course, score my base card. Then I cut a mat piece and then scored diagonally to create a cross-hatch background. Easy texture. The next element was to create the rosette. I cut two 1.25 x 6 pieces of white card stock. I scored at every half inch on one side, then flipped it over and lined it up so I can score between the lines for 1/4" score lines. Because I have the original board the only quarter line I could use is 4 1/4. So I scored at 4 1/4 then moved that line to 4" and then scored every 1/2" again. Now it's scored perfectly at 1/4" intervals and it the score lines are opposite so this makes it super easy to do the fan fold. Then I applied Scor-Tape to the ends and stuck it together to create a circle and then press down to create the rosette. Then I layered on my focal image and ribbon and finished off with a sentiment.

I used a sweet freebie image from Saturated Canary. I am loving these images. I must get a few more to play with. I love the eyes.
